I wouldn't use RBase forms to do that. I don't think RBase's internal RBEdit can do a "find in files", at least I can't find the option. I still use the very-old RCode RBase editor or a great old editor called UltraEdit and they have a "find in files" function where you type the words you're searching for, identify the file extensions to search (like: *.rmd, *.eep, *.app) and it will bring up all the program code having those words.

I would like to be able to view them, one at a time within RBase 9.5 32 bit. Ideally, I would like to be able to display them and be able to search/find words within the files. Which form object would be best? How do I get the text into the form and maintain the original number of characters per line so that the user is seeing what the text file would look like if it were printed? Mike
